[From MySQL AB]

MySQL 5.0.0, a new version of the popular Open Source/Free Software
Database Management System, has been released. It is now available in
source and binary form for a number of platforms from our download pages
at http://www.mysql.com/downloads/ and
mirror sites.

This is the first Alpha development release of the 5.0 tree, adding many
new features. As this code is currently labeled “Alpha”, we
do not recommend that this version be used in production environments yet!
It does however pass our test suite on all our build platforms and all
old features should be resonable stable.
